Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan are just extremely believable as people who actually like sex and Taylor's over here like "my bf has a big weiner teehee," like be an adult

It's really lucky in a handful of ways to get to go to a bunch of weddings. Exhausting at a point but I think it's a good expenditure of time and money if you are able. I try to enjoy this time of life with a lot of them

college football overtime is stupid and you should avoid engaging with it at all costs

I once got a lostprophets CD for getting last place at bar trivia. thought "that's pretty neat," went home to look them up, and then realized the joke

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

either he's close enough to Casparius that Erin Matson got him into UNC while they were together, or he's buddies with Nomar and there with him and Mia Hamm. that's all I've got for UNC connections

Ariana Grande is my big request. or Bruno Mars if you're not restricting to pop girls.

unfortunately I do not have enough baseball knowledge to provide starting points

β€˜We don’t go to no damn football game to see MALE cheerleaders, we go to see super fit dudes in really tight pants kneel down & reach between each others legs, run & tackle until they collapse in a sweaty pile of man so we can get tipsy in the stands & admiringly call β€˜em β€˜units’

the right spent the early COVID pandemic whining about how they weren’t allowed to do various things because of the virus, then, by scientific magic, our best minds quickly developed a medicine which allowed people to do those things ASAP.

and the right decided they hated that too. Still weird

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that all these guys truly respect and care about women’s sports and female athletes, and totally aren’t just using them as a prop to stir up anger at trans people

it was not that long ago that a state trying to pass a transphobic law resulted in massive pushback and boycotts from groups like the NBA. now it's laundered by our supposed allies as "legitimate concerns"

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

the world is saying a clean environment is a human right, at the same time our government is saying the real threat to human health is when there are too few gas-consuming cars for you to buy

we're going to fall behind the rest of the world in so many ways for no good reason

Jordan Peterson: When a ghost says, "boo!" it is BEYOND alarming, obviously. But the word "boo" not only frightens, it is a condemnation.
Joe Rogan: The ghost is scaring you, but he's also, like booing you.
Peterson (tearing up): Well there you have it. That's exactly correct.

hey man you don't need code names for this shit it's right there

if you know a guy who has an arsonist friend and they said they love fire and their friend then we find letters saying "no need to pry, our love burns like those houses" you don't need to turn pry into pyr and say that means fire
